Prep Work

The shop is clean, the tooling is organized, and we are ready to begin.

Everything at Parallel Works LLC is officially green-lit. Now, we’re just waiting for the most important guest to arrive: Our first CNC Milling machine.

While we wait for the delivery truck, we haven’t been sitting idle. We’ve spent the last few weeks:

- Inspection Equipment: Just took delivery of our go/no thread gauges, height gauge, pin gauges, calipers, micrometers, and gauge blocks. 

- Onboarding with Xometry is close to completion: Setting up our partner profile to ensure we can hit the ground running with live jobs on Day 1. Just need a complete call or possibly a test piece to finish it all up.

- Optimizing the Workflow: Getting our CAD/CAM Fusion 360 environment dialed in so the transition from digital to physical is seamless.

- Building the Foundation: Learning the nuances of finding the right work and ensuring our quality standards are ready for the first spindle turn.

There’s a unique kind of energy in a shop that’s "ready but quiet." We’re using this time to make sure that when that machine finally touches the floor, we aren't just starting—we're accelerating.

Gauge Kits ready and waiting for some action. (Priority - Quality)
